ENGLISH: There’s nothing that brings out my inner patriot as Swedish fashion. So for a day I was released of my self-imposed shopping ban, for the Acne, Filippa K and Nudie sample sale (15 Mercer St, today “family and friends” open to 8 pm, tomorrow and Thursday 11am–8pm). I found a ton of stuff that I’d gladly brought home with me, but it was taken down to two jackets: the Rockit and the oversized bomber Hydra, both from Acne. And like a true shop-a-holic I’m congratulating myself on the hundreds of sweet dollars I saved, instead of thinking of the ones I spent… But now I’m ready for icy winds and snowy blizzards, I almost welcome them.
